Linux and ClickPads
- by John
I just got my Arch / Windows 7 dual-boot setup running... except for one thing.
I have an HP dv6-3127dx laptop, which is an issue when it comes to Linux because it does not have a traditional touchpad, but a "ClickPad." This means where the left and right buttons exist, it is also sensitive to moving the pointer. The issue comes in when I try to steady the mouse with one finger, while clicking the left click with another, because the mouse freaks out. It's also an issue because it's not recognizing the right click whatsoever.
I am currently using the default Synaptics drivers downloaded from pacman on Arch Linux, running Linux v2.6.36.
EDIT: The question of course is, how can I fix this?
